BANGOR, Maine —

Ted Cruz’s influence in Maine overwhelmed the delegate selection process at this weekend’s state Republican convention in Bangor.

Of the 23 delegates Maine will send to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July, 19 are Cruz supporters.

Those in charge of the Texas senator’s grassroots efforts in Maine called the state convention results a “clean sweep.”

Based on the results of March’s state caucuses, Maine’s national delegates will cast 12 votes for Cruz, nine votes for billionaire businessman Donald Trump, and two votes for Ohio Gov. John Kasich. However, the results of the state caucuses are only binding for the first round of national convention voting.

After that, all bets are off.

Based on the current makeup of the Maine delegation, at least 19 Maine delegates will vote for Cruz if voting goes to a second ballot.

Gov. Paul LePage, a Trump supporter, was also selected as a national delegate.

Maine Republican Party Chairman Rick Bennett, National Committeeman Alex Willette and National Committeewoman Ashley Ryan will also represent Maine at the RNC.
